When I lived in the mountains of Colorado I would ask how much wood my customers wanted and a lot of times when I pulled up the would say is that all my wood 🪵 became the last guy only had the wood loosely thrown into their truck. Needless to say they called me back several times for more. I gave them what I said I would. Full measure.
Hi Chris, it was great to meet you at Bunyan on Friday!! My wife was the pretty one with the "You can't tell me what to do, you're not my DOG" shirt. Still lovin your videos!!
Love watching you go at super speed...well not so much watching as listening to that mariachi kind of music! It gets me going too!! Inspires my feet to get moving. Makes it hard to watch the vid to the end!! But since I am so well disciplined, I make myself sit still and do it!! I do have to practice a lot though! - Did you get a new truck? Wealthy people trade in trucks just because they get dirty! Then there's Sam Walton! - The pushy cats are looo-king good! - Nice job loadin' the bundler, keeping your secret identity!
@@InTheWoodyard Not sure the size of your bed is. Mine is a 5 3/4 and can hold 1/4 cord without fear of any pieces of the lip of the bed. A face cord is VERY well rounded and usually takes a little building to guarantee it all holds in the bed.
Nice video Chris. I suspect that a lot of your high paying customers keep coming back because they don't want "just anybody" delivering to their summer homes (or any homes) when they are not there. Trust is earned by being "trustworthy". GNI
Glad you can do that. Back in the mid 80s my dad would cut wood and leave it out in the woods and charge people $15 a rick for them to come pick it up. He sold a lot of wood that way, but it was awful hard work for such little money. Nowadays people are charging $60 and you pick it up on the road side. That’s rural Arkansas for you. Location really makes a difference. Last winter I saw a company online in a large city in the north east that was selling wood for $400 for 1/4 cord of kiln dried oak.
We sell 1/3 a cord for $100. Additional costs for stacking/ hauling withing 25 miles also applied. Amazes me how many people just want to buy 1/3 - 2/3 of a cord of wood. Not everyone is burning 3+ cords a year
I also make firewood for sale as a side hustle being a self employed jack of all trades and I admire your work ethics and attention to customer service while standing your ground and charging enough to make a decent living. I believe that when you take pride in making a high quality product you should charge accordingly.
Great to meet you at Paul Bunyan on Saturday! You look really professional in that Stihl hat! Tony showed me a disturbing video you took at his house on the hopper. Some things you can't ever unsee! You guys are ahoot. Thx
Holy hell that's insane. Up here in Ontario Canada it's only $90-100 a face cord. That's semi dry split Maple or Oak delivered. When you convert that's about 62-75 American
@InTheWoodyard then why do you make a title so misleading?? Also the wood I was quoting is delivered as well in a dump truck from 50 miles away 1 way so that's included
Hi Chris!! Everyone says that you can't season oak in one summer. But the oak that you are selling was green in the log this spring and now it's dry enough to burn already. It will usually dry in from each side about a inch each summer. So by splitting it small like you did has allowed it to be dry right now. Take care my friend!!😀😀 Logger Al
Face cord is a term invented by some sellers designed to make buyers happy with less wood then they expected, wood should be sold by the cord of part of a cord,
In the mid-west it is what EVERYONE calls 1/3 of a cord. Terms vary from region to region. There is also rik, rank, row, single stack, triple stack, truck load, logger cord and bush cord. Down south ALL soft drinks are cokes up here we call it soda. So it varies.
@@InTheWoodyard That makes me wonder if a Scalers license is required or even suggested in your area? As part of the forestry course I attended passing the Scalers exam is necessary( written and practical) as well as being check scaled of 1000 cords by a license holder. Cut and split firewood is the easiest product to scale and hardest is a pile of tree length hardwood pushed up by a skidder.
I have been chucking wood into the back of pickups for 54 years (since I was 7) and have never broke a window, neither have either of my brothers and we all sell firewood, so maybe not for everyone.
How do you go about legally hauling wood that far? Not sure where you are from, but I’m thinking here in Wisconsin, there are laws against hauling across county lines
It's nice you can get those prices where you are. It would never fly here in the Ozarks. People here sell ricks of wood for $70-80... One question, is it a face cord (8x4x24 inches ) or a rick, which is a third of a cord (8x4x16 inches)? When I moved here I didn't know what a rick of wood is and had to look it up. A face cord is half a cord and a rick is a third since a full cord is 8x4x4.
We burnt wood for years and i took chimney out .We got tired of bringing in wood in the weather and bringing in insects and dirt.You and your brother could go around the world for the high prices you all charge
In big cities (Chicago) a full cord goes for $700-800 lots of people and no trees an hour west of me a full cord sells for $150 ..lots of trees no people...everything is relative to where you are.
You got any advice on wood splitters I’m looking for something that has a hydraulic, lifting arm and a six way wedge I’m open to all brands. I have an old counting on glacier like you used to have just need to upgrade
Yup, the 3 best brands are...Eastonmade, Wolfridge and Brute Force. They all make great machines. Check out their web sites and watch videos on their different models to find out what is best for you! Good luck!
$350 a cord is very average...the $300 I got for 1/3 of a cord was because of a 90 mile delivery one way and stacking after wheeling it to the back yard...so...
Greetings from Hokkaido, Japan. Do you leave those massive wood piles made from pallets uncovered all year round? Or at least spring/summer/fall. So it gets wind/rain/sunshine? So uncovered with the rain will help it season? I have similar set up, wondering if I should at least cover top with big tarp. Cheers.
What little I have experienced over the past few years is most private sellers ruin things for businesses, until trust is established. They are so accustomed to buying at bottom dollar. Also, due to most states have no firm guidelines or price ranges, people take advantage of the firewood sector, usually to rip people off. Its always been a free-for-all in Ohio, even with some businesses like tree services selling wood in " bulk cords" with a loader. Right.. too bad Ohio says sell by the ton with a scale. But it makes a great deal for people at $150-$180 a "cord" to re-sell 😆 I just recently put up $175 for a 1/3 and not one bite. My product absolutely better but its the market. So, whatever, I'll use it.
Most people that heat with wood have other reasons for using wood...Off the grid heat sources are one. Self satisfaction of having it as warm as they want. Nothing feels a s good as wood heat. The exercise they get making the firewood. The smell of a wood fire. The sound of the crackling fire. Sitting by the fire enjoying the heat, sound, smell and sight of the flames. Money is not everything.
If the total mileage was 180 (90 each way), you lost money. Federal mileage rate is 65.5 cent per mile which would be $120.00. It means you drove three hours for $20. Your time is worth more than that, charge more. He doesn't mind paying you because it's cheap.
Hello! I live in Ireland and I'm trying to learn how to stack & store firewood well, and you talk about the importance of wood breathing, we have a lot of wet weather and I don't know if leaving wood to dry in the open and mostly uncovered will work well for here, would it be alright to only cover the top or for wetter climates would you advise to keep the wood somewhere sheltered/ more covered or in a shed? Thanks 😊
@@InTheWoodyard Thanks for the reply! I recently started volunteering with a charity that clears invasive species, and this year we are currently venturing into cutting, splitting and stacking wood from cherry laurel and this is all fairly new to me so I'm trying to learn as much as possible. If the wood is kept in tonne bags im not sure it will dry correctly and I want to be assertive when talking about what we need to do, but because I'm worried leaving the wood out in Irish weather, which can be unpredictable and very consostently wet most of the year, in a clear space where it can potentially get sun and not be blown over might be a bit of a task, so an open shed might be the safest bet.
I do admire your WORK ethics. There certainly is a dollar to be made in the firewood business, especially when you are NOT lazy and when you have innovative quality equipment. That is why I find your channel so enjoyable to watch. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.
Generally how long does pine take to dry? I have my wood stove and a fire pit and I hate to burn the good stuff in the pit, there’s always people on FB market place giving away pine. As always thanks for your videos and your knowledge.
Pine dries fast. And even if it is a little bit moist, it will still burn if you already got a hot fire going. And it will work in your woodstove during spring and fall, when you really don’t need that much heat. But i would recommend to mix it with a little bit of hardwood... and also, pine is perfect if you want to cook over your firepit, really easy to take control over the temperature. 👍
Yup, I do not think that I have ever been over hauling firewood. I would say the most I have had on was probably around 8,500-9,000 or so, according to the charts I used to figure it out with. If I hauled sand, gravel or rock I am sure I could easily over load it!
No. This customer pays me to cut split dry deliver and stack his firewood and so do hundreds of others. You are not my customer and many people will pay for someone like my to do it for them because they don't want to can't or have other thing they would rather do. You might notice that you can buy a new car from about $20,000 to as much as $200,000 and much more. Both cars get you down the road. And there are buyers for all price ranges.
There are all kinds of names for 1/3 of a cord...face cord is very common in Canada and most of the Midwest. a rick, rank or a row is common in the south and in most other countries they go by cubic meters. So it is a very regional thing.
I am getting nosey!!! (Sorry!) I have been watching for awhile and have noticed that you ''get out of breath too quickly'! Please have it checked out if you have not yet done so.
Haa! Do you work as hard and as fast as I do while talking to a camera hustling to the next job and and shot? I am 61 and I am very active every day, I am 100% sure that I will die some day and I am ready when it is time to go. Until then I will enjoy every day here.
@@InTheWoodyard I built a nice firewood bin using your pallets and wire method this old man is impressed with how well it works. My wife and anyone that has seen it are impressed. I tell them all the little bin I put together for my own wood to burn is nothing. Tell them all they should check your channel out. Mine bin is made out of some heavy duty plastic pallets stacked in and 6' tall 8' wide should be 16' long when it gets full. Thank you much for the idea!
Great deliveries. Still can’t believe that was a “cottage”🤣 I’m a little bummed that I just realized I totally missed the Brute Force booth at Bunyan. I would have liked to see that bundler! Thanks for sharing Sir Chris👊🏻GNI
Great customer service and great product, Chris! Keeps them coming back. Great that you help out your brothers and dad like you do. Those cats have the best barn helper in you! Like yours, ours know when it is feeding time all 13 are at your feet.
Happy Leaf Erickson Day everyone. Good to see deliveries starting to happen at the woodyard. Been seeing quite a few loads of wood going down the road the last week or so here in western Washington state. Started seeing smoke come out of a few chimneys around town here.
Chris...You must be using the new math; not the math I was taught in the mid-50's. 90 miles there plus 90 miles back equals 180 miles. Multiply that by $1.50/mile equals $270 unless you are only charging for one way!
Glad you have the back for bending over stacking wood at 74 i can't hardly been over. My doctor told me and my brother we worked our Bodys to death. This is way we are having all these problems.
I live in an area of SoCal that is prone to termite infestation. For that reason I am hesitant to store firewood for an extended period of time, my area dedicated for storage is approximately 1' from the house in a 3 walled space, do you have any tips or recommend any insecides that might mitigate/eliminate this problem?
We do not have termites here but I would put down plastic on the ground then metal or bricks then some kind of wood runners and then maybe more plastic then the firewood???
I love working for people who have lots of money and like spending it ❤
Yup!
Or burning it. Seriously just buying nicely cut split and seasoned wood just to burn outside cuz it looks pretty.
When I lived in the mountains of Colorado I would ask how much wood my customers wanted and a lot of times when I pulled up the would say is that all my wood 🪵 became the last guy only had the wood loosely thrown into their truck.

Good morning Chris you are hard working man never stop good job ( ty Ron )
Morning Thanks!!
90 miles from the woodyard... his 2nd cottage... and he pays you in cash. Either mob or politician.
His family owns a nation commercial construction corp....big!
@blackman- BAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣😂😂
Or both
there is no difference between the two
Dr or lawyer, bout the same difference
I wish you good health, thanks
Same to you! Thanks!
Amazing the loosely tossed pickup box of wood filled the 4X8 wood rack almost like you had done this before.😉🤣
Yup, people should take notes, it is easy if you do it hundreds of times.
@@InTheWoodyard Not sure the size of your bed is. Mine is a 5 3/4 and can hold 1/4 cord without fear of any pieces of the lip of the bed. A face cord is VERY well rounded and usually takes a little building to guarantee it all holds in the bed.
That was quite the cottage. Good seeing you at Bunyan.
Yes it was! i wish we could have talked some...lots of people to meet there!

Loads are looking great Chris.. 3 more for me and I am all done for 2023.. 😁👍
Wow, I just got started!!

YES taking pics for 4 sure . to cover yourself . 4 sure ,so there is no doubts.
Yup.
Excellent work and video Chris they know what sounds to listen for most definitely 👍 😊😮❤
Thanks 👍

Fine job on the Fine Pine!
Yup, thanks!!!
Me and my wife can't believe it's a cottage 😂 good video. Using my Ecopro300 today 💪
Yes, it is ONE of their cottages.
Good money for that wood !
Yup!
That cottage is so beautiful
Yup, it is that!
Nice sticker from Tony!! Dod he also give you a half stick of gum?? Nice deliveries!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
I wish! He never buys me anything!
That amount for a face cord delivered that far is totally fair Chris you are always fair to all your customers. Here we go its wood delivery time!!
Thanks 👍 Yup, pays days are here!
Holy hell that's insane. Up here in Ontario Canada it's only $90-100 a face cord. That's semi dry split Maple or Oak delivered. When you convert that's about 62-75 American
You must not have watched the whole video, the wood is $120 stacking was $40 and delivery 90 miles was $140.
@InTheWoodyard then why do you make a title so misleading?? Also the wood I was quoting is delivered as well in a dump truck from 50 miles away 1 way so that's included
Wow things have changed, when I was a teenager & working in the woods it was $25-$28 a face cord!
It is not 1975 anymore. That was for a 80 mile delivery and stacking in the back yard AND the firewood.
Great setup! Love your video's! Have a BLESSED day!
😊🙏🏻❤️🕊
If that is their cottage their full-time home is probably in St. Thomas 🙂
Nope, it is on a golf course here.
Go !!!! Go !!!! Go !!!!!! Big payday on that load. Nice.
Thanks!!
Hi Chris!!
Everyone says that you can't season oak in one summer. But the oak that you are selling was green in the log this spring and now it's dry enough to burn already. It will usually dry in from each side about a inch each summer. So by splitting it small like you did has allowed it to be dry right now.
Take care my friend!!😀😀
Logger Al
Great point! Yup, it dried great this year on the farm with it's wide open sunny spaces and constant wind!
Nice video, I only had 20 truck loads of dry wood to sell this winter. I hope to be at your level one day.
Don't hope, just get to cutting and don't stop, the wood is like money in the bank and it will all sell!!
This year $870 for 2 cords green deliverd in driveway in April. Twice as much as 4 years ago :/
That is awesome! Good for you!
Face cord is a term invented by some sellers designed to make buyers happy with less wood then they expected, wood should be sold by the cord of part of a cord,
In the mid-west it is what EVERYONE calls 1/3 of a cord. Terms vary from region to region. There is also rik, rank, row, single stack, triple stack, truck load, logger cord and bush cord. Down south ALL soft drinks are cokes up here we call it soda. So it varies.

That is a nice haul for a cord of wood, but you are right. You spent quite a lot of time on it. Take care!
yup!
Hey Chris, to make like easier when I have to pull wood out of my pick up, I bring a hard rake with me. Use it to pull it all to me when out of reach.
Yup, some day I might have to use one, but for now, I need the exercise!
WHOA! AND $50.00+ FOR GAS AND WEAR AND TEAR ON THE TRUCK AND TIRES!
Yes but I sell and deliver wood to his 2 other location all the time also.
Also a head ache rack on the truck is a must .
I have been chucking wood into the back of pickups for 54 years (since I was 7) and have never broke a window, neither have either of my brothers and we all sell firewood, so maybe not for everyone.

It is different everywhere.... we call 1/3 of a cord a face cord...1 row of 16" pieces stacked 4'high x 8'long
We need some Bigfoot stories from up north.
Sorry I do not believe. No bodies no bones no trail cam pictures.

I pay $350/cord in my area. Nuts
$350 a cord is very average...the $300 I got for 1/3 of a cord was because of a 90 mile delivery one way and stacking after wheeling it to the back yard...so...
$300 for 1/3 cord? NOPE!
Not up here in da U.P.
But then, that's part of why I live here. ;)
The delivery alone was $120 (90 miles) and the stacking was $60 the wood was $120
Obviously he can afford to pay for delivery. What do people do that allow them to have several cottages larger than most peoples homes.
The family owns a major commercial construction company.
Even at fast fwd speed I saw that piece hit the rear window! 😆
Yup, once in a while one "touches" the window!

The market in any area IS the market, so in a given area you are compared to everyone...good and bad.
If you’re buying firewood it’s time to switch.. wood is almost the most expensive way to heat now .
Most people that heat with wood have other reasons for using wood...Off the grid heat sources are one. Self satisfaction of having it as warm as they want. Nothing feels a s good as wood heat. The exercise they get making the firewood. The smell of a wood fire. The sound of the crackling fire. Sitting by the fire enjoying the heat, sound, smell and sight of the flames. Money is not everything.
So you're getting $300 for a face cord of wood damn must be nice
Just that one, it was a long distance delivery most face cords I sell I get $120
If the total mileage was 180 (90 each way), you lost money. Federal mileage rate is 65.5 cent per mile which would be $120.00. It means you drove three hours for $20. Your time is worth more than that, charge more. He doesn't mind paying you because it's cheap.

If you split it down smallish and have it in the sun and wind off the ground it will dry in a few months.
Yup and you get about 2-3 feet of rain a day there!!!!
Yup, you are correct!
A tarp rollout bed unloader might make it easier bring it closer to your tailgate. May not have to get in the bed as much.
I have one it is a piece of crap. Plus I NEED more exercise not less.
@@InTheWoodyard I'm sure by how much wood you move. Keep on splitting!!
Is the weight of that trailer loaded with wood under 10.000 dot
Yup, I do not think that I have ever been over hauling firewood. I would say the most I have had on was probably around 8,500-9,000 or so, according to the charts I used to figure it out with. If I hauled sand, gravel or rock I am sure I could easily over load it!
Good morning

Morning Chris
Thanks!!
❤🐈🐱👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦😁👌
Thanks brother
Thank you for watching!
Actually $300 seems like a really decent amount especially all the miles.
Yup, it was a trip!
It is nice to have lots of money to burn. LOL Unfortunately it drives the price up for the person who does not have money to burn.
No. This customer pays me to cut split dry deliver and stack his firewood and so do hundreds of others. You are not my customer and many people will pay for someone like my to do it for them because they don't want to can't or have other thing they would rather do.

Don’t give it away, a guy with a $250 chain saw and used Big Box splitter as a side gig doesn’t set the market price. He’ll sell out first…..
Yup, you are correct!
Have ever heard of a face cord
There are all kinds of names for 1/3 of a cord...face cord is very common in Canada and most of the Midwest. a rick, rank or a row is common in the south and in most other countries they go by cubic meters. So it is a very regional thing.
wow handeling the many times yes yes i would charge 4 that 4 sure .
Yup, lots of touches!
👍👍👍
Thanks!!!
Wow guy should've bought a cord?
yup!
I am getting nosey!!! (Sorry!) I have been watching for awhile and have noticed that you ''get out of breath too quickly'! Please have it checked out if you have not yet done so.
Haa! Do you work as hard and as fast as I do while talking to a camera hustling to the next job and and shot? I am 61 and I am very active every day, I am 100% sure that I will die some day and I am ready when it is time to go. Until then I will enjoy every day here.
$300 is way to cheap
Maybe so, but I do sell lots of wood to him at the other locations too.
not
Not what??
@@InTheWoodyard not be buying wood from you Way over priced
The Pine looks split a tad big for good bundling wood? Guess I will have to tune in tomorrow and see how it goes!🪵🔥🪵🔥
Yup, it is but we got it done...you can see it tomorrow!!
The cover on the wood rack in first delivery would make the wood build up moisture. I agree with you keep top covers and sides open.
yup!
@@InTheWoodyard I built a nice firewood bin using your pallets and wire method this old man is impressed with how well it works. My wife and anyone that has seen it are impressed. I tell them all the little bin I put together for my own wood to burn is nothing. Tell them all they should check your channel out. Mine bin is made out of some heavy duty plastic pallets stacked in and 6' tall 8' wide should be 16' long when it gets full. Thank you much for the idea!
🤘Charge what you’re worth! A lesson you taught me long ago
Always!
Great deliveries. Still can’t believe that was a “cottage”🤣 I’m a little bummed that I just realized I totally missed the Brute Force booth at Bunyan. I would have liked to see that bundler! Thanks for sharing Sir Chris👊🏻GNI
Next time! Or you can come up to my place some day and i will let you touch mine!
It’s like that north of Toronto, cottages going for $3M to $15M or more. Boat houses, basketball courts, tennis courts and helicopter landing pads.
Is your dad presently living in an assisted living facility?
An apartment with some benefits.
Good morning Chris and friends it’s 35degrees outside this morning. This wrist replacement is working fine (it’s chainsaw time) . Keep on cutting
We have frost here this morning....AWESOME!!!
Good Morning Woodhounds!!
Morning!
If you want to make money, sell things to lazy rich folks😂
Yup. Or just a lot of something no one else has.
Great customer service and great product, Chris! Keeps them coming back. Great that you help out your brothers and dad like you do. Those cats have the best barn helper in you! Like yours, ours know when it is feeding time all 13 are at your feet.
Thanks Craig!
He's paying to not deal with a headache, you eliminated the headache for this so he paid for it.
Service is what people want, the wood is just a thing but the service is more valuable.
Happy Leaf Erickson Day everyone. Good to see deliveries starting to happen at the woodyard. Been seeing quite a few loads of wood going down the road the last week or so here in western Washington state. Started seeing smoke come out of a few chimneys around town here.
yup, the fall is here!
Nice catfood dish set up.
Thanks 👍
My old lady said you dont have enough bowls for your cats and she is upset.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We fill them and when full the food lasts for 2 days, they work just fine.
She said "no"@@InTheWoodyard
Let your "old lady" go feed them.... What a stupid comment
Have your wife get in touch with Chris, and she can send more bowls
The existing six came from chewy
I charge $40 a Rick simi split. Ro- tundra wood. Have a hard time getting but there pick up.n
That is way to cheap!
Good morning everyone
Hello Stanley!!!
Chris...You must be using the new math; not the math I was taught in the mid-50's. 90 miles there plus 90 miles back equals 180 miles. Multiply that by $1.50/mile equals $270 unless you are only charging for one way!
Yup, good point!
Glad you have the back for bending over stacking wood at 74 i can't hardly been over. My doctor told me and my brother we worked our Bodys to death. This is way we are having all these problems.
Yup, the hardwork of firewood is tough on the carcass.
Wow that’s a great customer lol. 120 a face cord is crazy to me but we live in crazy times. I remember when a face cord was 30 bucks lol
Yup, there are a lot of them out there!
I live in an area of SoCal that is prone to termite infestation. For that reason I am hesitant to store firewood for an extended period of time, my area dedicated for storage is approximately 1' from the house in a 3 walled space, do you have any tips or recommend any insecides that might mitigate/eliminate this problem?
We do not have termites here but I would put down plastic on the ground then metal or bricks then some kind of wood runners and then maybe more plastic then the firewood???
